"High Noon" This painting captures a bright mountain landscape under a dramatic midday sky. Billowing white and gray clouds stretch across a vivid blue sky, casting shifting light over the scene below. This plein air painting uses loose, energetic brushwork and vibrant color relationships to give the piece a fresh, immediate feeling—a moment quickly captured outdoors as the light moves across the landscape. Lorie Batson~ is a highly accomplished oil and pastel artist, celebrated for her ability to capture the spirit of the West. She is a member of the Plein Air Artists of New Mexico, a signature member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado and a proud member of The Cowgirl Artists of America. Her work beautifully portrays outdoor scenes with rich authenticity and depth. "High Noon" is beautifully framed in a coastal blue and walnut patina wood, mounted on a metal patina backing. The layered textures and tones echo the movement and mood of the painting, creating a striking, one-of-a-kind art piece. Angela Camarillo I love working with Lorie Batson who is an amazing local artist of Westcliffe, Co. Together we create beautiful, art work and bring our creative visions together. Being able to frame Lorie's artwork and add my own creative touch has been such an amazing experience. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful pieces—we’re blending our styles and the spirit of our Westcliffe community. Flying Lead Designs~ in the workshop, I’ve been crafting unique, one-of-a-kind frames that elevate each piece of art. My passion for repurposing and sustainability leads me on adventures hunting for vintage treasurers, gathering Western belts, belt buckles, conchos, cowhide and barn wood —all of which come together in distinctive, handcrafted frames. These designs merge Western charm, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious creativity. Angela Camarillo~ Flying Lead Designs
